Sourdough Discard Pancakes (source)
A nice basic pancake recipe that uses sourdough discard. I like it because you get a bit of that buttermilk-like "tang" from the sourdough, but you don't have to keep buttermilk on hand.
Ingredients
- 280g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 150g (~1 cup) sourdough discard -- more or less is ok
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 400g (1 3/4 cups) milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
Place your skillet on the stove and heat it on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Aim for a temperature of about 300ºF for cooking pancakes. Low and slow is better for pancakes to ensure a nice golden brown crust and a soft and fluffy interior.
Combine all your ingredients in one bowl and mix until combined. It's OK if it’s a little lumpy.
Melt a teaspoon of butter in the skillet. Butter adds some delicious crispiness to your pancakes. (I tend to just use a nonstick pan and skip this step.)
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until the edges of the pancake start to look dried out and you can see some holes forming on top.
Flip your pancake over and cook for another 3 minutes.
Serve immediately with butter and syrup. Or don't! See if I care!
